Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether there have been any power cuts on their Department's property in each of the last three years.

For the purposes of this answer, we are interpreting power cuts to mean unplanned loss of power to a building or floor of a building.

We can confirm from the information available, that there have been two incidents in the specified period:

• 10 South Colonnade, London, where Cabinet Office is a tenant, 2023.

• Cheylesmore House, Coventry, 2023.

In both incidents, communication to affected users was swift and continuous thus keeping people fully informed of the status of the incident. Post events, lessons learnt sessions were held and where appropriate, mitigations and processes were created should future similar events take place, not just at those localities but nationally as well.
